Nobody in their right mind would start a rocket company in order to make more money. I feel like he just wants to play real life Factorio and he wants everyone to tune in on his Twitch account and watch him play. Meanwhile he was trying to fix democracy [1] (and protect his own companies) by buying Twitter and at some point he realized he fucked up.

But who knows, I could be wrong.

I'm not exactly a fan. I'm not exactly against him either. He just seems like a hardcore geek to me that got way too much money and way too much buy-in.

[1] I'm not saying I that I think he was fixing democracy. I'm saying that I think that he thought he was fixing democracy.

Meanwhile he was trying to fix democracy . He was literally giving checks for people if they voted a certain way and promoted it. There is not more anti democratic than this.

right because true democracy is when you give cheques to people to convince other people to vote a certain way

Well, he is famous for axing down middle management in companies. Might as well get rid of Super PACs and buy voters directly.

I don't understand how those two are connected. Both are bad though.
